Chapter 35: The Stone Chamber (I)
Chen Jianping and Liu Qingquan, who were walking in the front, stopped abruptly and beckoned to everyone.
I only heard Liu Qingquan say: "Listen, everyone, there seems to be some movement!"
Everyone quieted down and listened slightly, and vaguely heard a burst of "boom" sound, which came from far to far, and everyone only felt that their feet trembled slightly, and there were stone chips scattered on the four walls.
Chen Jianping hurriedly said: "Everyone, stick to the stone wall!"
As he spoke, he threw the torch far forward, and then the faint light of the torch showed a stone ball half a person high rolling along the road!
Everyone was shocked, Liu Qingquan, Baokang, and Ji Xiaowu leaned to the left, clinging to the stone wall on the left, and Chen Jianping, Qi Ruoxue, and Tian Fu leaned to the right, clinging to the stone wall on the right.
Then, the huge stone ball rolled over, and everyone felt a strong wind blowing in their faces, and the stone ball rolled over the clothes of the people on both sides.
Before everyone could come to their senses, there was another rumbling sound from far to near, and by the light of the torch that Chen Jianping threw in front of him just now, they saw a more huge stone ball rolling over, and everyone was shocked, this stone ball was far bigger than the one just now, and at least one of the people on both sides could not escape.
At this moment of crisis, Liu Qingquan shouted loudly to Chen Jianping and the others: "Brother Chen, come over here!"
Chen Jianping suddenly understood, pulled Qi Ruoxue and Tian Fu and the three of them to cling to the stone wall on the left, and stood in a line with Liu Qingquan and the three of them, and then Liu Qingquan and Chen Jianping waved their long swords at the same time, and the two swords hit the left edge of the stone ball.
Although these two sword rays were not enough to shatter the stone ball, the left side of the stone ball was under the impact of the sword rays, and the rolling route was sharply deviated to the right, cutting off a large piece of the stone wall on the right side.
At this time, the rumbling sound of the stone ball rolling was endless, and Chen Jianping said loudly: "Everyone line up in a straight line, rush forward!"
Everyone didn't have time to think about it, Liu Qingquan was in the front, Chen Jianping followed closely, Ji Xiaowu held a torch, and the six people lined up in a straight line, rushing forward, and there were boulders rolling down in front of them.
The more you run forward, the wider the road, the danger of the boulder is not as serious as before, and then later, there is no longer a boulder rolling, at this time there is a torch inserted on the stone wall on both sides every few steps, and the traces of artificial axes and chisels around are getting heavier and heavier.
Liu Qingquan turned around and said, "Everyone be careful, this place should not be far from the old demon's lair!"
Everyone nodded, concentrating on vigilance, and walked around for about half an hour, the surroundings became more and more eerie and terrifying, and a few ghost cries came from time to time in the depths of the dim corridor, and at this moment, a cool breeze suddenly hit!
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they found that there was a huge stone room in front of them, everyone was extremely nervous at this time, they glanced at each other and nodded, Chen Jianping drew his sword in his hand, and with a move with his left hand, the six people flashed and rushed into this stone room.
Everyone rushed into the stone room, only to see that there was no one in the room, and there was a wide stone ditch under the stone wall on the right.
Liu Qingquan looked at it and said softly: "Brother Chen, it seems that the people in the depths of the cave have already prepared. ”
Chen Jianping nodded and said, "Yes, but the road is over here, and it seems like a dead end here, and we have no way out now!" Everyone frowned and thought hard, without a clue.
Liu Qingquan said: "Everyone is separated and carefully searched, to see if there is a secret door, it has come here, it is impossible to run out of way!" When everyone heard this, they all dispersed and carefully groped on the stone wall.
At this moment, Qi Ruoxue exclaimed, everyone was startled, Qi looked at her, only to see her said in a panic: "Look, everyone, the Yongdaokou when we came in is gone!"
Everyone came to their senses when they heard this, and everyone was concentrating on finding what kind of secret door there was, and no one cared, at this time, after Qi Ruoxue said this, everyone found that the Yongdaokou when the six people came had quietly disappeared, so that there was no way forward, no way back, and everyone was trapped here.
Everyone was somewhat flustered at this time, and there was no eerie ghost crying around them.
Chen Jianping said: "Don't panic, look carefully, and see if there is anything unusual about the stone walls under your feet and around you." When they heard this, they groped carefully under their feet and on the stone wall.
At this moment, a gloomy strange laugh suddenly came out of thin air, everyone was shocked, hurriedly gathered together, stood back to back, only to hear this gloomy voice said: "I don't know whether I live or die, do you think Lao Tzu has no blood to drink?
Liu Qingquan frowned and said, "Everyone be careful, this is the voice of the Blood Drinking Ancestor!" Everyone was even more shocked, and they all sacrificed their swords and waited for the battle.
I only heard a strange laugh from the blood-drinking ancestor and said, "No one has ever been able to escape from me, so you just wait to die!"
Chen Jianping hurriedly said: "Don't panic, everyone, we can hear the voice of this old demon, which means that there are other roads around here, there must be a secret channel mechanism here that we don't know, we just need to find it out."
Liu Qingquan said loudly: "Yes, don't panic, this old demon is just bluffing, if on weekdays, he would have rushed in to fight with us, why bother to make a fool of himself, the reason why he is like this is nothing more than to disturb our minds so as to trap us here!"
Although this was true, the hearts of the people were still frightened, and a few dim torches were about to burn out, and everyone began to panic again.
Suddenly, in the stone room, there was a strange sound from the stone walls in the south, north and west, and then, large pieces of stones slowly fell off from the three stone walls, and suddenly, there was a "boom" sound, and the three stone walls were suddenly full of light, and everyone had been in the dim corridor, and their eyes suddenly saw a strong light, and suddenly there was a tingling pain, and it was difficult to open their eyes.
The next moment, suddenly dark red rays shot out from all corners of the stone room, and Bao Kang shouted on the side: "Be careful!"
With a wave of his hand, a flying needle was punched out, scattering a bunch of red mangs, and then, only to hear the sound of swishing endlessly, countless red mangs flew in all directions.
Everyone suddenly became a mess, kept shouting, and slapped the red mang in front of him, suddenly, Tian Fu snorted, and a red mang injured his shoulder, and suddenly blood flowed, seeing more and more red mangs, Qi Ruoxue shouted and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, gather in a small circle!"
Although Chen Jianping and Liu Qingquan's practice of the exercises already have some foundation, they suddenly happened, and secondly, red mangs shot from all directions, and there were many of them, and they were embarrassed at the moment, and everyone listened to Qi Ruoxue's words, although they didn't know her intentions, but they didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly formed a small circle.
I saw Qi Ruoxue's waist twisted, jumped up, and landed in the center of the small circle surrounded by everyone, raised his hands, and danced a silver whip impermeable, as if weaving a silver-white net around everyone.
After such a stalemate for half an hour, everyone's foreheads were sweating, but the red rays shot from all directions were like a drizzle in the sky, and there was no tendency to weaken at all.
At this time, Chen Jianping was very anxious in his heart, only to see him raise his left hand to block in front of him, observing the surrounding situation through his fingers, suddenly, he raised his head and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, support for a while, the blood-drinking old demon was frightened, and he shrank up and didn't dare to come out!"
Although the surroundings were in danger at the moment, everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Chen Jianping say this, and Baokang and Ji Xiaowu even echoed casually: "Yes, what is the blood-drinking ancestor, I think it's almost the same as the blood-drinking old turtle!"
As soon as everyone's words fell, they heard the eerie voice of the blood-drinking ancestor in mid-air: "Hmph! A group of little cubs are going to die in an instant, and they are still here with a hard mouth, I see how long this little girl can dance wildly!"
At this moment, Chen Jianping nodded slightly, and said hurriedly: "Listen to me, everyone, everyone concentrates on blocking the red rays shot from this wall in the east!"
Liu Qingquan asked loudly, "Why, Brother Chen, what have you discovered?"
Chen Jianping said loudly: "It's too late to explain, if Sister Xue, you stay where you are, and the rest of you will listen to my orders-on!"
Everyone didn't have time to think about it, Chen Jianping gave an order, and Chen, Liu, Ji, Tian, and Bao flew up at the same time, and for a while, the palm wind, sword qi, and flying needles all greeted the east wall!
Chen Jianping turned back to Qi Ruoxue and shouted, "Sister Ruoxue, turn the first three steps from the left to the right and take two steps to the right, and hit the vault of the stone chamber with a silver whip!"
Qi Ruoxue didn't want to think about it, she took three steps forward to the left, then moved two steps to the right, and with a coquettish sound, she flew up, shook her right arm, and made a whip in the air, and the silver whip tip came from the bottom up, and hit the vault directly above with a bang.
Then Qi Ruoxue was on the ground, and jumped out of the way, at this time, there was silence in the stone room, and six pairs of eyes stared straight at the vault of the stone room.
Suddenly, there was a thin stone powder flowing down from the vault, and with a soft "click", a huge crack quickly spread from the vault like a snake, and everyone felt a strong cool breeze gushing out of the crack, and with a bang, the entire vault collapsed!
When the six people saw this, they cheered, and at this time, the east wall no longer emitted red light, and everyone suddenly relaxed, and suddenly felt sweating profusely, almost prostration, and Qi Ruoxue was even more tired and sat on the spot gasping.
Liu Qingquan patted Chen Jianping's shoulder and said, "Brother Chen, thanks to you, otherwise it would be really difficult to end!"
Tian Fu held the wound on his left shoulder with one hand, squatted on the ground, and asked Chen Jianping, "Brother Chen, how do you know that the swords are all from the east wall?"
